the greatest thing you'll ever learn,
is to love and be loved.
is to love and be loved.
Did you really believe what they told you?

The line between loving you love someone, and when you're in love with someone is very thin,
and many often tangle themselves with either, thinking that its the other emotion they're messed up in.
When you're in a romantic relationship and you suspect you just love your partner, (whether or not you were once upon a time in love) and feel like leaving,
you just do.
Even though you know it'll hurt your partner, you still leave him/her, because you know deep down that.. why the hell should you put yourself through this?
When you're in a romantic relationship and you are crazily/freshly/comfortably/complacently in love, and feel like leaving,
you don't.
Because you know it'll hurt your partner, and you want to spare him/her the agony of going through the dating process all over again and the tears and pain,
and because you still want to be the only one who can give him/her happiness.
And because, simply put, you are in love and refuse to let go.

Can you really forget that easily?
He told me a tale of how his close friend broke up with someone who seemed to me like an insensitive nut, and then after some time, when he got into trouble, she didn't know whether to care for him once again.
Thus begs the question, whether we can truly lose, or even gradually erase, the feelings we once had for another.
Because somewhere in our hearts, there will always be that eternal soft spot for that once-beloved.
Would you bear to kill him?
Would you bear the pain of seeing him die?
Wouldn't you still feel sad, somehow, deep down, that someone you loved so deeply once in now in the face of public humiliation?
Even if he/she ruined your life, cheated on you, or stabbed you in the gut even;
can you honestly say,
he's truly someone I don't care about anymore.
Can you?
Not just for romantic relationships, but for the various people, from all walks of life, who had once made some semblance of an impact in your life.
I don't think many people really can.
Which is sad, because how truthful then are the words I've moved on ?
Can you really forget your first love, first crush, first whatever?
Not implying that they still hold romantic places in our hearts...
But in some way or another..
We still care for them, wish them well.
And one more point to prove my thoughts-
Did you really forget them?
Are they/he/she really gone from your memory?
No, they're not.

The weird hypothesises you think up when you're on the bus home.
Watched Bridge to Terabithia today. I was really sleepy and wasn't really listening to the dialogue, so I didn't quite understand the story. Shall watch it again soon, but while watching it the first time the storyline seemed rather lame. Plus the girl died, so abruptly?
And the kids seemed like they belonged in a mental facility, dreaming up kingdoms and running away from imaginary fiends. -_-
But I likeeee the little girl! the kid Jess's sister. I wanna have a sister/cousin/daughter/whatever like that man ! So damn cute. Made me go home and give my cute little sister a big huggg.
:)
Things to do:
1. Finish french, like once and for all -_-
2. Start on Randal ICA2.
3. Do more research for Chong.
4. Organise meeting for Jess.
5. Start working on Azhar's film shit.
6. Read thru JW notes so I won't keep screwing up the honorifics. -____-
7. Go to the beach.
8. And more other stuff I can't remember so I NEED TO GET A NOTEBOOK/PLANNER.
